The year is 1954. After scoring two and getting level with Hungary, the Uruguayan Juan Hohberg had a heart attack, as his heart stopped beating. They reanimated him and...
HE CAME BACK TO THE GAME.
11 days, motherfuckers!
"United’s flag is deepest red, it shrouded all our Munich dead. Before their limbs grew stiff and cold, their heart’s blood dyed it’s ev’ry fold. Then raise United’s banner high, beneath it’s shade we’ll live and die. So keep the faith and never fear."
No Sane in Germany's World Cup squad. Interesting...
city lot and the English media have lost their shit over it too. Typical really. 'He played really well in the Premier League for Man city!!! The bestest ever team in the bestest ever league - he must be one of the bestest German players!!!'
Sane apparently is on Low's bad side for failing to heed instructions, and apparently his international form is poor for a country that has always prized that highly (Klose & Podolski etc.).
That said, their squad doesn't have much pace going forward and I'd definitely have taken him as a bench option. Can see something like losing 1-0 to Spain with 20 minutes left and Spain are playing their usual boring shite and the only way to break it is by throwing a wildcard like Sane on.

The year is 1938. Germany leaving the pitch after being defeated 4-2 by Switzerland.
Place? Parc des Princes, 2 years and one month before the nazi occupation.
10 days left!
And yes, I'll bore you with World Cup facts I like or find interesting.

Here's an image of the old Wembley at the final day, when England proceeded to beat the Germans on injury time for their only World Cup.

I hope our World Cup opponents aren’t reading this, because I’m gonna tell you exactly what has made our tiny country so successful.
But first, I need to explain a little bit about Iceland. Because I’ve noticed that now, whenever I meet people, they’ll say, “Oh, you’re from Iceland? That’s so cool. Northern Lights! Yeah, man!”
After the Euros put our country in the spotlight, it seemed like everybody started going to Reykjavik on vacation.
But I’m not from the vacation part of Iceland.
I’m from the north of Iceland.
If you try to find my town on old maps, it just says: There Be Ice Dragons Here.
My hometown is a place called Akureyri, with about 18,000 people. There wasn’t really much else to do there except play sports, so I began playing football. Of course, I dreamed of becoming a pro. But there were two problems....
